The Senate voted 53-47 on Monday to move forward with a confirmation vote for President Biden's nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was deadlocked 11-11 along party lines, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., made a procedural move to discharge her nomination from the committee with Monday's vote.
Ketanji Brown Jackson, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court nominee for U.S. President Joe Biden, departs a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Collins, Murkowski, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., were the only Republicans to vote for Jackson when she was confirmed as an appeals court judge last year, but Graham said he could not support her nomination to the Supreme Court.
